[flexcoders] Re: Rotate Button label without embedding fonts
One of our developers suggested putting a 0-value BlurFilter on the Button. This puts the button into bitmap mode, which will allow it to be rotated, text and all. Joan --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, imjackson84 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am trying to create a custom Button class that can have its label text rotated (but not the button itself). I know that this can be achieved by embedding fonts, but ideally I don't want to have to do this. In my research I came across this site, which contains a method for rotating labels without embedding fonts: http://www.gonnen.com/2007/11/rotating-text-in-actionscript-3-without.html It's fairly simple, in the label's updateDisplayList(), a rotated Bitmap of the label is drawn. I looked into following the same principle for the button text but this is much less straightforward (especially as the label is actually a UITextField). I've tried adding one of the custom labels as a new child of the button but that does not appear to do anything... Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Iain
[flexcoders] Re: scrolling question
When you advance to the next page, set the verticalScrollPosition property of your List to 0. Joan --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Body Works Studio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a report using a list component with a custom renderer. We have a paging controller on the page that when you click it , the data set will advance to the next page. What happens is the new data set is inserted in the the list view, and keeps the viewer exactly same position where they where on the page when they clicked the button . So say you scrolled to the bottom of the first page and you click to view the next page, the data gets loaded in, but the list view still is at the bottom of the page. Is there a way to make the component scroll back to the top when the user clicks to a different page? thanks Jeff
[flexcoders] Re: Flex2 versus Flex3 font size
I'm pretty sure that your problem with Button labels is not because of a font change, but, rather, a change in our default Button. In Flex 2, the styles paddingLeft, paddingRight, paddingTop and paddingBottom didn't work. So, Button had some hacky code to figure out how much spacing there was around Button labels. Depending on your label, the space around the label varied. In Flex 3, these padding styles now work and the default for paddingRight and paddingLeft is 10 pixels. As a result, for Buttons that had less space on the left and right of the label, the labels became truncated when migrating to Flex 3. To fix this problem, you can change the styles of your Button to use a smaller value for paddingLeft and paddingRight. I wrote a bit about this migration issue here: http://butterfliesandbugs.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/understanding-flex-3-migration-issues-part-i/ Unrelated to these Button changes, we also updated the font engine used by our compiler. However, this change only changed fonts by a few pixels and should not have affected the components and their size very much. Internally, on our QA team, we had hundreds of bitmap test failures when we did this change, but, the font differences were all very minor (just a few pixels here and there) Joan --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 05:57:35PM -, dougco2000 wrote: I switched to Flex3 the other day and found that the font sizing for the default font has changed!

Hi, to recreate my problem:
1. Create a new project (basic)
2. In the application mxml file, paste this code in:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=vertical
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, MyPopup, true);

mx:List id=list1 dragEnabled=true dragMoveEnabled=true
dropEnabled=true width=100 height=100
mx:dataProvider
mx:StringItem 1/mx:String
mx:StringItem 2/mx:String
/mx:dataProvider
/mx:List
mx:List id=list2 dragEnabled=true dragMoveEnabled=true
dropEnabled=true width=100 height=100 /
/mx:HBox
/mx:Application
3. Create a new MXML Component, base it off of TitleWindow,
call it
MyPopup.mxml
4. Paste this code into that file:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=vertical
mx:HBox
mx:List id=list1 dragEnabled=true dragMoveEnabled=true
dropEnabled=true width=100 height=100
mx:dataProvider
mx:StringItem 1/mx:String
mx:StringItem 2/mx:String
/mx:dataProvider
/mx:List
mx:List id=list2 dragEnabled=true dragMoveEnabled=true
dropEnabled=true width=100 height=100 /
/mx:HBox
/mx:TitleWindow
5. Run the application.
6. Try dragging items from list to list on the main
application.
Then,
click the button and try dragging and dropping, notice the
difference
in
where you can drop items.
